世界第二高峰K2位于喀喇昆仑山脉上,属于喜马拉雅山的一部分,终年被积雪和冰川覆盖。虽然其高度在世界14座海拔8000米以上的山峰中位列第2名,但是其攀登难度位列14座高峰之首,因此许多攀登爱好者们视其为第一高峰,而不是第二高峰。在1954年意大利登山队成功登顶之前,这座山峰被认为人类禁足的“神秘之山”。 K2, the second highest mountain in the world, is located in the Karakoram Mountains, part of the Himalayas and is covered in snow and glaciers throughout the year. Although its height ranks second in the world’s 14 peaks at 8,000 meters above sea level, climbing is among the top of its 14 peaks, which is why many climbing enthusiasts view it as the first peak rather than the second peak . Before the Italian mountaineering team reached the summit in 1954, the mountain was considered as “the mysterious mountain” of human being.
